harmless011: some of you guys that will never see anything good in nigeria sorry for una ohhhhhh, there have been significant improvement in power supply unless you are living under the bridge.
Power supply is the only area that i can score gej high for now, though there is still room for improvement we will surely get there.
God bless Nigeria.

sirfemoz: Having read the comments of my fellow citizens of this country, its now obvious that some of us are born liars/haters and lacks common sense. Some of us here expected this woman to go live on CNN and start voicing out how useless her country is. Atleast on thing i can vouch for her is that of electricity, where i stay i can boast of 20hrs of electricity daily. And so it is in some other places. If you electricity havn't improved in you area, don't come here and talk jibberish. Don't generalize it. Some of us here because of frustration and there hatred for government, they can never see anything good, and they can never appreciate anything good the government does. Lets not criticize with biased minds.Nigeria is gradually improving. Nigeria is gradually progressing. Slowly, we are getting there. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Product of a failed educational system.instead of bitching here,why not tell us the capacity of electricity generated in Nigeria as at date ? What's the point in having electricity in Lagos,Abuja and port harcourt when the whole North is in darkness ? Has Nigeria passed the 4000mw myth ?

Please not all parts of Port-Harcourt. Yet she was comparing us with South Africa. I mean you can't even compare us with Ghana.

JoBlè: I think u guyz are seeing this all wrong. Firstly,what's this craze abt Amanpour and her 'knowing more abt Nigeria than NOI'? Pls, she was jst doing her job.Did u xpect her to cross her legs,sip coffee and act like she didn't knw Nigeria existed? And I don't care if she is the best journalist that ever lived,it's she who lives in d house dt knows where it leaks. Secondly,of course she dodged the Alamesiya (4give d spelln)question! What would u ave her do? Tell d world that she thought her boss was a foolish and confused man? And make Nigeria lose d tiny respect we still ave? Finally,sumtimes we Nigerians criticize what we don't understand. What do you mean by invisible macroeconomic policies? Well,we ave to start sumwhere! Do u want her to go round dashing money? BTW, these invisible policies have helped many a country. *sighs* we really shld stop swallown what evri1 tells us abt our country. Well,I think she did okay.

jt2010:

Here is the answer you need. You just choose to read part of the report that suit your thinking but OKONJO-IWEALA clearly mention OBJ invested in electricity.

OKONJO-IWEALA: As you know, Nigeria became a democracy again when President Obasanjo came into power in 1999. Two decades prior to that, there was hardly any investment in electricity.

If you've neglected a sector for that long, you've not invested, you've not even maintained your basic facilities, it's not going to happen that fast. It takes time.

iykak47: Okonjo Iweala is not Elrufai or Lai Muhammed, she is a serving minister, still some people who swear with Amadioha and Sango never to say anything good about GEJ government expected the woman to criticize(disgrace) the government she serves on CNN over Alamieyeseigha's pardon, despite that they know such controversial issue is not within her jurisdiction.

I wonder if Christiane Amanpour can invite Jack Lew the US secretary of the treasury and ask him about the North Korea's missiles or same s3x marriage

Dike Chimezie:
And in his 8yrs we couldn't attain 3000MW?
So hypocritical of you.

eforce01: . i like how she cleverly avoided the alamiseya's pardon question, she just started talking and diverting the interview. Loyal to her oga@ the top .

danny301: I have gone through the interview several times and frankly speaking i didn't see anything special apart from the unnecessary comparison in it .... I didn't see any uncommon display of intelligence and diction as i expected of know. ... Her responses lack articulation or unification and focus. I mean there were no clear-cut points in her answers as she was unable to drive home any particular point.... Let me not say that the woman is an overrated personality but suffice it is to say that i expected something more from her.

In Okota, Isolo LGA, Lagos state.. Ago palace way to be precise. Please, try and verify.. Thanks

JoBlè: @danny301 As sumone rightly said, Nigeria is a difficult country to defend. It kind of makes it hard for her to 'dazzle' evrione without selling her conscience. Or maybe it might be that YOU held her in such high esteem and u feel she didn't 'represent' cuz I don't think she was supposed to say anything particularly intelligent. @funnyx ,are u trying to crucify d woman 4 deciding to help her country in the way she felt she could? Are u saying she was stupid for makn dt decision probably knowing her reputation was at stake? Chei,my people! You pple would ave been d first to accuse her of chopping money and nt caring abt Nigeria had she refused the appointment. Besides, I think she covered 4 all Nigerians nt only d govt. Afterall it's nt only d govt that's corrupt. 99.9% indeed! Most Nigerians won't give up corruption if given the chance.

liberty300: I stay in enugu and I say, yes, power has improved. She is a patriotic nigerian and defends nigeria's and nigerian interest. She told no lie in that interview she granted. If she did, pls point it out..

Eko Ile: What an embarrassment, even worse than elebel Jonathan abdul el reterdeen odechukwu's encounter with CNN.

Why lie to the CNN woman all over again like her OGA @ THE TOP did before? I bet the CNN woman shook her head at the fact that Nigerian leaders are all corrupt chronic and habitual liars..

smh..

Elueme: You are just a sadist and I am not surprise at your poo considering your status on nairaland. It's obvious you didn't watch the interview for reasons known to you but I did and I am saying unequivocally that are presentation was great. I don't know when your likes will win disciples for the interest you represent because your persistent parochialism and amateurish disposition gonna put some who might have been naturally sympathetic to your course off. You should learn honour by knowing the golden rule of public relations as patriots to always try not to bring your country down before foreign media and the world, better be non- committal. This is my grudge with ACN and why I will relocate to Gambia than see Lia Mohammed and Tinubu rule this nation. Neither do I praise the rogues in PDP but I have come to understand that a man is not viewed differently from the way his country is viewed irrespective of how saintly you may pretend to be.

~Bluetooth:


Did you watch the interview ? If No,go and watch it before answering that by yourself.for foksake,she acknowledged that Nigeria has priavtized everything yet nothing seems to have changed.what difference has the billions of dollars spent on power since 2010 yield when the country can't still go beyond the 4000mw crap and the president talks on a live program and light went off ?

Have you guys been brainwashed to maintain this status quo or what ? The other day,the FG is celebrating the renovation of rail tracks and trains that were constructed over 100 years ago by the colonial masters in this world of supersonic light rail and you guys keep saying we are coming up ?

Elueme: If I may ask you, can you point at one thing you have achieved for Nigeria other than CRITICISE and discredit those who maybe making efforts ? That is the problem with your likes. Spewing rubbish and disparaging the people in authority won't change the fortune of our dear nation but our collective individual effort could. The biggest problem is the fact that your zeal maybe embedded in representing a primordial interest such as being sympathetic to a political party hence nothing good can come out of your perceived enemies( some people need some head checks)

I hope you don pack your bag, pure water and akpu for your journey..
